Happy 2nd Book Birthday to PINEVILLE TRACE! I’m so appreciative of everyone who’s helped bring this book into the world and supported it these last two years. Forever thankful to Kevin McKelvey my editor and founder of @uindyetchings Press, @erikrustart for the awesome cover art, and to every reader who’s picked up the book or showed up for events, to all the supportive writers who have been generous with their time and kind words, to all the librarians and booksellers who have supported the book, to all the podcast hosts and reviewers, to all the judges who have recognized the book, to all the book festival staff that have included the book, editors that have highlighted the book, and so many others.

This is the copy I’ve read from at all the events across 11 states in front of the very first trees we planted. Thank you!
